April 16th, Age 777

Krillin and Android 18 were flying towards the battlefield; with them was Goten and Trunks. They met up at Korin Tower as the monk had known that with Broly around, they'd need as many senzu's as possible.

He wanted to join the others when he felt there ki's heading for the legendary saiyan, but his wife stopped him. 18 had argued that every time he was in a battle, Krillin would wind up either dead or severely hurt. Even though she was right, he argued back that he just couldn't let his friends fight that monster alone. He also pointed out the last time he sat out a fight, they were still killed by Buu. The cyborg relented and went with him.

On the way to the battlefield the group felt the ki's of both Cilan and Gohan spike, then drop while Broly's ki kept growing. Then they felt Goku's ki jump dramatically, knowing he was fighting the insane saiyan. They were worried when they couldn't feel Cilan's ki, and Gohan's was weak.

The group began to see the shock waves from the battle between Goku and Broly as they entered the forest region. Then they began to scour the ground to find Cilan, where 18 spotted a crater ahead of them. Before they reached it, a bright flash of light erupted from the battle, and witnessed Goku's Kamehameha attack. However they missed the flash that erupted in ki from the crater.

When the light died down, they found Cilan floating above the crater surrounded by golden ki and lightning. He didn't face the group, but instead looked in the direction of the battle. Krillin flew to him while the others went to find Gohan, "Cilan! Where's Gohan?"

Cilan replied in a cold monotonous voice, "Gohan is a few meters away from here, his ki is dropping."

"We know, we brought senzu's for you guys. But Cilan, we felt your ki spike, then disappear. What happened?"

"I was beaten down and cast aside."

"But you're ki is back up again."

"Yes," Cilan replied simply.

Krillin raised an eyebrow at the saiyan, but then looked ahead to the fight, "Looks like Goku will beat Broly."

"He has the upper hand at the moment, but father's power will overpower him soon."

The monk had to agree as he felt the legendary's power increase matching Goku's, he was about to comment on it when his mind caught onto what Cilan said, "Did you just call him father?"

"Yes."

"What's going...?" Krillin grabbed at the saiyan shoulders to turn him around, and his question stopped short when he saw Cilan's eyes were completely white like Broly's. At this point the short fighter dropped the satchel of senzu's and was floating away from the ex-soldier. The bag stopped falling and flew back up to the monk and floated in front of him.

"Krillin," Cilan's voice began with a deep baritone. "Take the senzu's to Gohan so he can recover."

The monk grabbed the bag and found his voice despite the terror he was feeling, "What... What are you going to do?"

Cilan turned back to the fight looking straight at Broly, "I'm going to terminate him."

Before Krillin could say anything, Cilan powered up. It caused an explosion of golden ki to surround him and increased his power by leaps; it also made the skies darken further. The saiyan took off in the direction of the fight.

The battle between Goku and Broly had spanned for several minutes. As he expected, the crazy saiyan gave Goku the fight he had sought. Despite telling himself to take it seriously, he still held back enough to enjoy the fight. It was a reversal of their first fight, where Broly was the stronger opponent.

Ducking a kick, Goku landed a straight right hand punch on Broly's solar plexus. The crazy saiyan reeled back in pain, clutching his chest that radiated with pain. He glared daggers at Goku, as his ki exploded around him, and flew straight at him. However, Broly knew he still couldn't match him in power unless he fought on longer, which he wouldn't get the chance if Kakkarot decided to end the fight now.

The legendary did realize that Kakkarot's ki didn't increase. If he could make him waste his power, then he could overpower him. An idea occurred to him then, and broke off from the fight and threw his hands up in the air. Goku was confused for a moment until he saw that Broly gathered an enormous amount of green ki into a small sphere above him. It was concentrated enough to destroy the planet, but he threw more ki into it, so it ballooned to the size of a small house. When the power of it was adequate, the legendary launched it to the earth below.

Goku didn't expect Broly to use that kind of attack. He teleported to be below the sphere and on instinct poured a significant amount of his ki into his hands as he prepared to fire a Kamehameha. Once he felt it equaled the power of the incoming sphere, he pushed his hands forward and unleashed his blast.

The blue blast clashed against the big green ki orb, halting its advance. However, Goku had to pour more of his ki into his attack as it didn't automatically cancel it out as he had planned. After a moment, the blue blast completely engulfed Broly's attack and sailed itself into space, averting a catastrophe.

Not having time to recuperate, Goku had to dodge Broly's attacks. Realizing that Broly could launch another attack, he decided on beginning to end the fight. It was then he noticed a subtle change in the insane saiyan, he was able to dodge his attacks a bit faster. When Goku was able to land an attack, it didn't seem to hurt the legendary as it did before.

Broly surprised him by making his ki jump even further. Goku tried to raise his own in response, but realized he just wasted his power in deflecting the earlier attack. The legendary had made him use up his reserves and was now on equal footing. Before Goku knew it, the insane saiyan went on the offensive.

The fist appeared out of nowhere, and Goku managed to move his head in time to dodge it. Mounting a counterattack, Goku tried punching Broly but found they were missing the intended target, and had to move fast to avoid the legendary's response. It went on like that for what felt like ages, but was actually minutes. They were parrying each punch and kick, neither being able to out-power the other.

'Kakkarot,' Vegeta's voice cut into Goku's mind. 'Why haven't you finished this freak already?'

'Broly tricked me into wasting my ki on that earlier attack,' Goku gritted his teeth as he blocked a left hook with his forearm, knowing it would be sore later.

'Great, so we're fucked.' Vegeta muttered debating with himself if he should throw his life away again and join the fight.

The other saiyan didn't respond as he knew that eventually his ki would begin to drain and would be helpless against the legendary. There was only one option left for them.

'Vegeta,' Goku called out while he moved his head to avoid a straight punch. 'We need to fuse.'

'We're not doing that again,' the prince scoffed out.

'Now's not the time for your pride Vegeta,' Goku argued after moving his body enough to let an uppercut just graze him.

'Even if we wanted to, that freak won't give us the time to do that stupid dance,' Vegeta argued back.

'I got an idea,' the younger saiyan began while flying over another of Broly's attacks. 'If I can blind him with a solar flare, then we can have enough time for the fusion dance.'

'Fool! That will never work! He won't get tricked that easily!' Vegeta huffed.

'It worked against you.'

Instead of throwing out an insult, the older saiyan considered the plan again. He simply replied with, 'Fine.'

With a plan set, Goku waited for the right moment to unleash his diversion move, all the while dodging Broly's deadly fists. He was flying backwards away from the legendary but not fast enough to get away. Goku needed him close to blind him as much as possible.

He was about to perform the attack when a blue blast flew between them halting Broly's advance. Before both men could determine where that attack came from, a second ki blast appeared aimed squarely at the legendary. After easily dodging it, Broly could only glare at the direction the attack came from.

Moments later Cilan appeared, engulfed in golden ki with his hair spikier and lightning shooting around him. His iris-less eyes glared at Broly and loudly growled out, "Father!"

Everyone stopped in their tracks and could only gape at what Cilan said, even Piccolo who was on the ground watching the fight, stood stunned.

Broly was the first to speak, his voice menacing, but with a hint of surprise, "What did you call me?"

"Father."

"I don't know what madness you're spewing, but I've never had a son!" Broly shouted at him glaring at him with the same intensity he reserved for Goku.

"Yes you do." Cilan matched the glare and continued, "Twenty-two years ago, a female saiyan named Cinna arrived at New Planet Vegeta after being lured by your father Paragus. She was captured and experimented on to make more Super Saiyans like you."

The legendary considered what he heard, trying to think that far back when he was still under his father's control. Broly's menacing face gave way to an evil smile, "I remember now. Dad wouldn't let me touch her, what a shame; she looked like such a tasty whore."

The second those words left his mouth, Cilan had somehow managed to deliver a left hook to his father's face, catching him off guard.

"Don't you fucking call her that!" Cilan screamed as his ki doubled.

Broly reeled back stunned that he let himself be hit. Something moved in his mouth which he spit into his palm. What he found was that it was one of his molars; it came loose from the punch. The legendary crushed it in his fist before he returned with a powerful straight right punch at Cilan's face.

It would have knocked out the ex-soldier earlier, but instead he took it, with only a trickle of blood coming out of his mouth. Cilan powered up again and lunged at his father, aiming a ki blast into his chest. Broly sidestepped it and fired off a green ki ball into his son's face. That was deflected away, and Cilan responded by delivering a liver shot with a kick from his left leg.

The impact shot through the legendary's body. He'd taken different hits to the liver before, but Cilan's kick actually managed to hurt him. Holding back a shudder, Broly grabbed Cilan's leg with one hand while trying to blast him with the other. His son countered by using telekinesis to deflect his hand enough for the blast to miss, then stomped on his chest with his other leg. That caused Broly to let go of his Cilan's leg.

As father and son grappled in the air, Krillin and crew arrived with senzu's and a rejuvenated Gohan. The monk had filled them in on Cilan's revelation, but they couldn't believe it. Until they were closer to the battle and saw firsthand that Cilan was exhibiting the same powers like Broly.

"Piccolo, I got some senzu's," Gohan landed next to the exhausted Piccolo, and handed him the magical bean. The namekian took it gratefully and nearly inhaled it. After chewing on it for a few seconds, his strength and ki had returned.

"Is it true about Cilan?" Gohan asked.

Piccolo nodded, "I heard him say it before he fought Broly."

Gohan began to power-up and was about to fly into the fray when Piccolo put his hand on his shoulder to stop him. "Don't get involved. This is Cilan's fight."

"But can we trust him? He lied to us twice already." The younger man said as he watched the fight.

"We'll get our answers, but for now we have to wait and see how this plays out."

Cilan meanwhile was countering Broly's green ki orbs with blasts from his fingertips. His mental powers had also helped in deflecting the faster ones away. The insane saiyan was getting frustrated. He wanted nothing more than to finally kill off Kakkarot and destroy the planet. However his alleged son was in his way, and putting up a better fight than before.

The legendary also caught that Gohan had returned and was rejuvenated as well, meaning that Kakkarot would follow suit. So he only had a small window of opportunity to accomplish his goals. His thoughts returned back to Cilan who was trying to kick his head off. The crazy saiyan could still overpower him and kill him once and for all, but he needed an opening.

Broly then thought back to how the younger saiyan became angry when his mother was insulted. If he could do it again, he could make Cilan charge at him unfocused and leave himself open.

"Hey boy!" Broly called out. "Where's your mother now? After I kill you, I want to get piece of that whore's ass."

That riled Cilan enough to charge at his father. Broly moved back, but slow enough for his son to land punches. He needed to lull him into thinking he had the upper hand in the fight. After Cilan tried going for a left hook, Broly disappeared and materialized at Cilan's side where he unleashed a green blast engulfing his son. The blast lasted for a few moments, and when the light died down, Cilan had disappeared. Broly turned to Goku, who had barely managed to eat a senzu, and lunged at him. Goku dodged as best as he could while he waited for the magical bean to rejuvenate his strength.

Down below on the ground, Cilan landed on his back with a thud. He managed to project a mental barrier around himself at the last minute, but the force of the ki blast knocked him out of the air. He slammed his right fist into the earth, angry he was fooled so easily. His saiyan side wanted to go back up there at full force and fight his father again, but his rationality stopped him. The young saiyan realized that even though his ki increased significantly; his father was still leaps above him. It made him also realize it'd be pointless to try and raise his own ki to match him, as his father had too much of a head start.

The ex-soldier stood up and dusted himself off, it was then he caught sight of his beam sword's hilt not far from him. Cilan pointed his palm to the weapon and it began to fly towards him. When it flew into his hand, he activated it; to be sure it still worked. The beam sword produced the blue and white flame without fail. As he looked in the plume of energy, he thought back to his fight with Fotu, and also the fight that Krillin and Gohan had against Guldo on Namek.

'If my ki has increased, could my telekinetic powers have increased as well?' he asked himself. He looked around himself and noted there weren't many objects around, except for the trees. Looking at them he only had one thought, 'Worth a shot.'

Cilan turned his attention back to his father, powered up his super saiyan ki, and flew back into the fray. The trees he looked at before began to shake violently before they broke free from their stumps and flew up after him.

In the air, Broly still kept at it against Goku, trying to lay his hands on him to tear him apart. The senzu did its job for Goku, but he found that while his strength returned to what it was before, Broly's strength had increased. He no longer had the advantage he enjoyed earlier. Goku considered the earlier plan of trying to blind the sociopath, to give him enough time to fuse with Vegeta.

Those plans again did not come to fruition, because Cilan again interrupted the fight by aiming a ki ball at insane saiyan.

"You again?" Broly snarled at Cilan. "I would think you'd be running back to your mother."

The ex-soldier looked at him stonily, with his white eyes and only responded back with, "She's dead."

Before his father could retort, Cilan disappeared and materialized at Broly's side swinging his sword at his abdomen. The older saiyan dodged it and was about to blast his son again, when a redwood hit him from below with significant force. The tree didn't hurt him, but the impact of it knocked him back several yards away.

Broly had a look of surprise as he did not see that coming. He thought one of the other fighters threw the tree at him, but they looked just as surprised. The sociopath's thought were interrupted when he noticed the same tree was floating between himself and his son. It was damaged from the impact, branches were torn off and splits appeared on the outside of it.

Before Broly knew it, the redwood came at him again. He destroyed it with one of his ki blasts, which distracted him to Cilan's kick to the side of his face. Angry at being blindsided so easily, Broly fired more ki spheres at Cilan. The ex-soldier dodged them, with a smirk on his face. Seeing that only angered the insane saiyan further. He was going to fire even more spheres, when he had to dodge another tree that he only saw at the last second.

Broly destroyed the second tree with his ki. That distraction allowed to Cilan to fire a concentrated ki blast from his index finger at his father's head. His father could only move his head just enough to let the energy graze his cheek, marring his face. Snarling in anger, Broly was about to charge at his son, when he caught sight of a dozen trees, floating below.

The sociopath was puzzled at why these appeared, and looked back at his son. Cilan glared back at him, mirroring his expression. Broly was piecing something together, when he charged up his ki into another sphere. He launched it towards the floating trees; it split up into smaller spheres and destroyed them all.

Without pause, he charged and fired his multiple ki ball attack at his son. The ex-soldier didn't bother dodging them, instead all the spheres stopped before impacting. They stood there momentarily before they were sent back to their originator. They fizzled out after hitting Broly's ki shield.

"So this has been your doing, boy?" Broly asked. Cilan only grunted in response. "How?"

"I may have inherited your brute strength, but mom passed down her mental powers."

That was another wrinkle for the crazy saiyan. Not only did he have to deal with Kakkarot, but now his son posed a threat as well. With green ki flaring his body, Broly snarled out, "I don't care what that whore gave you, you're a mistake, and I'm going to correct it."

He rocketed towards his son at an insane amount of speed. Cilan used his own ki and a bit of his telekinetics to jump over Broly, and then launched a blast from his palms. The ki hit, but only singed his father. However, Cilan moved in and launched a series of punches at Broly's face.

The ex-soldier connected a left hook onto the other saiyan's nose, "Stop…"

Then Cilan used a right handed uppercut to hit Broly's chin, "Calling my mom…."

"A whore," He capped off his attack by driving his left elbow into Broly's right temple.

The sociopathic saiyan staggered back, holding his arm to his face. He pulled his arm forward and saw blood, indicating his nose was broken.

"Fuck you!" Broly roared out, spittle flying from his mouth. "You think you can stop me? You're nothing!" He went on the attack again, faster than before. Cilan ducked an oncoming clothesline, and sent a left-handed punch into Broly's side. Grunting from the hit, Broly swung his arm back hitting Cilan in the face. The ex-soldier was knocked back, but he shook it off. He drew his beam sword out again and charged at his father with it.

Broly had to dodge every swipe, as he came perilously close to losing his head. He charged a ki sphere. His plan was to detonate at into Cilan at point blank range. He ducked another swing and moved in close to detonate the energy in Cilan's face. The ex-soldier didn't try moving out of the way of it; but instead focused his mind on the ki itself. He looked at it in the microscopic level; at the strands of ki that bound together and severed those chains.

The ki ball exploded prematurely in Broly's hand. Before he could even wonder how that occurred, the beam sword was swung at him again. The insane saiyan moved back enough to avoid having his chest split open. Tired of being on the defense, Broly dodged another swing, and managed to knock the sword from Cilan's hands. The sociopath charged another ki ball to use on his son, not paying attention to the weapon that he knocked away.

Instead of plummeting back towards the earth, it stopped mid-flight and came back at Broly. One moment he had his right arm outstretched ready to blast his son, and the next a blue blur passed by and all feeling in the right hand disappeared. He looked at his arm and saw it now had a cauterized stump where his hand used to be. Broly shot daggers at his son, while the sword flew safely into Cilan's hand, and gave his father a superior smirk. He reached the breaking point then, and his body was consumed by the green glow of his ki. "Fuck all of you!"

Broly raised his good hand and prepared another ki sphere, "I'll destroy all of you and this fucking planet."

The others were stunned at the amount of ki Broly was beginning to gather and Goku wondered if he would be able to stop that blast himself. Cilan looked stoically at his father, while he pointed a palm out at him.

In an instant the energy that Broly gathered had stopped and he let out a choking gasp, and his left arm clutched his chest. The ex-soldier had the same stoic expression, but his palm now appeared it was clutching the air.

"Wh… What… are you… doing… to me?" The insane saiyan asked between gasps.

"I have your heart in my hand, so to speak," Cilan replied in a matter of fact tone.

"Pl… Please… son, let me go…," Broly began to plead.

Cilan smirked then, "Why? So you can kill all of us?"

"You can't do this to me! I'm the legendary super saiyan! I'm the strongest being in the universe! I'm…," Broly gasped again.

"Pathetic," Cilan finished the sentence for him, while he closed his hand into a fist. His father gave out one last gasp and died as his heart was crushed to a pulp. His hair returned to its natural brunette color, from the yellow-green it once was. It was then his body began to fall towards the ground, but it stopped in mid-air and was floated back to Cilan's level.

If his mask wasn't destroyed Cilan could have known if Broly truly died or not. As it was, he had to rely on his ki senses, which told him his father's body no longer had contained any energy within. Not wanting to take any chances, he raised the body higher in the air, as he charged up his own ki.

Cupping his hands at his side, he prepared a Kamehameha blast. He launched it moments later at the corpse. It had enough power to completely incinerate the body leaving only ash that fell towards the earth.

Cilan didn't have much time to contemplate, as he felt many eyes on his back. Turning around he found the Z-fighters powered up and in fighting stances, eyeing him wearily. He couldn't blame them, after everything that went down today. Goku was closest to him, and he was still in his SSJ3 form, though there was confusion in his eyes. There were many questions he knew they would have, but he was too drained to even deal with that. He did the only thing he could think of, and placed his hands in front of his face then unleashed a solar flare.

In a stroke of luck, he managed to blind them all. Cilan used the ensuing chaos to mask his ki and fly away from them using his mind. The Z-fighters blindness wore off after a few long minutes, but once it returned they found themselves alone over the forest, confused and worried.

To Be Continued.
